Stem Cell Research Personal Statement

As a recent graduate from the University of Manchester in Biotechnology and Enterprise, I am looking forward to work as a healthcare market analyst at Datamonitor group to utilise my scientific and entrepreneurship knowledges which have been developed through my involvement in Commercialisation of Life Sciences subject during my study.

During my participation in this course, I had been given an individual task to find unmet need that is significant to the human health by looking into the current market for the stem cell. It was a difficult task as I needed to observe and analyse every potential stem cell research opportunity by looking into the market trend very deep and identified the critical success factors of each market. I also attended several workshops and had lots of discussion with my supervisor to improve my analytical

Every individual idea had its own strengths and weaknesses, so we needed to understand the methodology of each proposed research findings and identify the competitor of each idea.
